Dear friends, what are you doing on January 8? Come on out for the KBOO Movie Night @ The Clinton: BEYOND SILENCE, Thursday, January 8, 7:00 pm, at the Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton Street, PDX. India arguably has the largest deaf population in the world, but it is said that the number of certified interpreters are 250 for around 18 million deaf people! Sign language is still not an officially recognized language by the government. The country has no captions on television, no instructions for deaf people at public places, no TTY, no instruction through sign language in deaf schools and no deaf college or a university for deaf people. https://facebook/events/580879195347065/?ref=5 Beyond Silence is a documentary made with the intention of understanding these hidden voices in their own words, language, and culture. It is a humble attempt to acknowledge the existence of a living, competent, and thinking deaf community that has the ability to communicate “beyond silence.” The film is a celebration of deafness. It tries to explore and bring about a strong emotion of self-confidence and belief among deaf people. The film does not depict deaf people as people with disabilities, on the contrary it questions and argues about concepts and ideas about being handicapped’. Admission suggested: $7-10, with no one turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds benefit KBOO 90.7 FM/online at KBOO.FM. KBOO, your community radio since 1968. BEYOND SILENCE, Director: Vidyut Latay, who will be in attendance and will speak after the film, including sign interpretation. Country: India Year: 2012
